Prague Viburnum

About this plant

The Prague Viburnum (Viburnum x pragense) is a distinctive evergreen shrub prized for its glossy, dark green leaves and a dense, rounded form. In spring, it bursts with clusters of fragrant, creamy white flowers, adding a lovely aroma to your garden. This hybrid viburnum is an excellent choice for hedges, foundation plantings, or as a handsome specimen plant. Its leathery foliage provides a sophisticated backdrop for other garden elements, and its tolerance to a range of conditions makes it a reliable performer. It maintains its attractive appearance throughout the year, even in colder months, offering consistent texture and color. Known for its resilience and low maintenance, the Prague Viburnum will elevate the beauty of any landscape design. Its elegant presence and captivating fragrance make it a favorite for both experienced gardeners and those new to horticulture.

Installation timing

When we're in season, outside of the winter months, our goal is to get your plants installed within about two weeks. That window gives us enough time to secure your plants from our supplier and find a spot on the schedule. Throughout the process we stay in touch through notifications and your existing client portal on the main A Cut Above website, which is separate from this landscaping plants shop.

Care & maintenance

Prague Viburnum is relatively low maintenance. Prune after flowering to maintain desired shape and size, removing any dead or crossing branches. Fertilize in early spring with a balanced slow-release fertilizer if soil is poor. Provides excellent cold hardiness.

Watering suggestions

Proper watering is the single most important factor in your plant's survival after installation. Newly installed plants have a limited root system and rely on you for consistent moisture while they establish.

• First 2 weeks: Water deeply every day (or every other day in cooler, wet weather), soaking the root ball and surrounding soil.
• Weeks 3–12: Water deeply 2–3 times per week, adjusting for rain, heat, and soil drainage.
• After establishment: Water deeply about once a week during the growing season, and more often in extreme heat or drought.
• How to check: Stick a finger 2–3 inches into the soil near the roots — if it's dry, it's time to water. Deep, less-frequent watering encourages strong roots; shallow daily sprinkles do not.
• Avoid: Overwatering (soggy, waterlogged soil) is just as harmful as underwatering and can drown roots.

Watering needs vary by plant, season, soil, and exposure. Because proper watering is the customer's responsibility after installation, please make sure you understand and can follow these suggestions before ordering.

Good to know: plants and trees purchased from and installed by A Cut Above include a one-year limited warranty from the date of installation. Because plant survival depends heavily on proper watering and care after installation, losses caused by improper care, neglect, animal or chemical damage, or extreme weather are not covered, and we must be given the chance to inspect a struggling plant before it's removed or replaced. Coverage is one replacement per plant. Read our warranty info.
